Evolution via Natural selection isn't random. Its not random if a creature has a mutation (random) that helps its chances of survival (not random) in some way so that its more likely to sexually reproduce. Its precisely the opposite of random.

In another words, stuff happens.  That's which survives will survive while that which won't won't.

Unless one wants to believe that evolution is guided, then it is random.  The key issue regarding what matters with evolution is how new features appear in a species.  The natural selection part doesn't cause new features to appear, it merely cuts out certain members of a species that is less fitting.
